A toddler was killed on Wednesday afternoon when a 16-year-old relative accidentally backed over the child with a sport-utility vehicle in her driveway, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Amaris Martinez, 2, was hit about 3:20 p.m. at a home on Avalone Drive near Apopka. The driver backed up, not realizing the toddler was behind the SUV, and the left rear tire ran over her, troopers said.
